The receptionist was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, "Mr. Armstrong is in her office, indeed working on something. Let me check with her."
She invited Page to sit down and rest while she hurried off to find Yessica.
Upon hearing that Page had come, Yessica was also taken aback. Page's actions from the previous day had left a lasting impression, and this news had Yessica rushing to find Camille. She said, "Cami, your mother is here."
Hearing the word "mother," Camille initially assumed it was Talia who had come.
Yet after a moment's thought, she realized that if Talia were coming, she would have informed her in advance. Of course, this didn't include the possibility that Talia might come as a surprise to her. However, Yessica had met Talia, so it couldn't be her, especially not with the current signs of nervousness and concern.
Camille slightly narrowed her eyes and asked in a faint tone, "What does she want?"
They had met just last night, and a lot of arguments had taken place. Camille couldn't imagine that she would show up again today. It probably wasn't for a good reason.
Yessica shook her head and replied, "She didn't say, only that she wanted to see you. But she also said she didn't want to disturb your work and brought a lot of food."
Sienna, who was nearby, also overheard and expressed some bewilderment, saying, "What kind of trick is she trying to pull? A trap, perhaps?"
Camille didn't react and maintained a cold expression. Seeing Camille like this, Sienna inquired, "Should I go meet her?"
Camille smiled and looked at Sienna, saying, "Do you want to challenge her in the art of arguing? I'm guessing that's what she's here for."
"But I'm worried about you."
"Alright, I know, but there's no need. I'll go see her."
Camille set aside the pen she was holding and walked out of her office.
Sienna quickly turned to Yessica and said, "You follow her, and if things seem off, call me right away. I won't go out easily because I'm afraid I won't be able to control my eight-foot-long sword."
Yessica smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, if anything happens, I'll let you know immediately."
"Go ahead." Sienna watched Camille's figure as she left, her face filled with concern.
Meanwhile, Camille had approached Page in the waiting area. She gazed at Page with a faint look and calmly said, "Are you here to see me? Is it about last night? If it is, I can only say that I cannot agree with you, so there's no need for you to come all the way here to find me."
Camille's tone was somewhat cold. Under normal circumstances, Page would have been angry by now and might have even accused Camille of being impolite. However, Page wasn't showing any sign of anger. Instead, she lowered her head and said with a tinge of guilt in her voice, "Cami, you're right. We let you down. After last night's events, your father and I have seen many things clearly, especially the Simpson family's attitude towards you, which is much better than ours. Just thinking about all of this makes me feel terrible. I feel so sorry for you."
Page was filled with guilt and self-blame, and her face showed remorse and sadness.
